An Introduction to the Geography of Health

The second edition of "An Introduction to the Geography of Health" is a comprehensive and holistic text that explores the interconnected physical and social factors that drive health in places and spaces.

With a focus on ecological and social approaches, this book offers students and scholars an important understanding of the study of health in the modern era.

The authors have restructured the book to emphasize theoretical significance, and updated examples and data throughout to reflect current issues such as water contamination in Flint, Michigan; microplastics pollution; West Africa’s Ebola crisis; and the Zika epidemic.

This text is designed for undergraduate and lower-level graduate students in geography, biology, medicine, entomology, social science, urban planning, and public health, and contains over 100 figures, including new and updated maps, data graphics, and photos.
